The Sun’s Biggest Outburst in Decades Has Scientists on Edge ...

Close-up measurements from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe are giving scientists an unprecedented look at how the solar wind gains ...

Scientists have created the first detailed maps of the outer edge of the sun's atmosphere, a shifting boundary where solar material breaks free of the sun's magnetic grip and streams out into space.

NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have launched three new missions to enhance understanding of solar wind and space weather. Three spacecraft were sent up this past week on ...

Using the Parker Solar Probe and other near-Earth spacecraft, scientists have made and validated the first 2D maps of the Sun's outer surface, leading to unprecedented insight into how and where the ...

This artist’s concept depicts the boundary of the sun’s atmosphere that marks the point of no return for material that escapes the sun’s magnetic grasp. Deep dives through this area using NASA’s ...

Coronagraphs are telescopes equipped with an occulting disk to block out the overwhelming radiation emanated from the visible surface of the Sun, along with optical stops and filters that are ...

Scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi have discovered why it rains on the Sun. Solar rain, made of cooling plasma, forms rapidly during solar flares, a mystery now solved by modeling time-varying ...

These images help to unravel the magnetic mechanisms driving the sun's behavior and shaping the space environment throughout the solar system. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

"This work shows without a doubt that Parker Solar Probe is diving deep with every orbit into the region where the solar wind is born." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Using data collected by NASA's Parker Solar Probe during its closest approach to the sun, a University of Arizona-led research team has measured the dynamics and ever-changing "shell" of hot gas from ...
